Feature Request: Checked-Out Files and Disabled Users

[AjarnMark]

Please consider adding a feature to the User Maintenance screen such that the action of Disabling a user account would search for and at least display a list of files (paths with repository) that user currently has checked out, and even better, provide me an option to forcefully undo the checkout of those files right then.

We have a couple features that might get you what you need. Try these suggestions and let me know if they work for you.

1) You can force an Undo Check Out through the Vault admin web page. Expand the repository on the left and click Undo Check Out. You will see the user is listed with the check out, so you can select just specific check outs to force an undo on.

2) You can use the search function on the Vault GUI client to come up with a list of items checked out by a particular user. You can't undo from there, but it would provide you a list to help you in performing the undo check out.

Yes, I have used both of those in the meantime; however it would be more convenient if there were at least a warning, if not the additional capabilities on the user maintenance screen. In our situation, I have a dozen repositories, and a user may be working in any of them, so it becomes a bit tedious to do the manual search just to find out whether they had anything checked out that needs to be addressed.

I see what you mean. I've logged a request. Thank you for your feedback.
